    Default Do You Hang Up On Advertisement Callers?

    Do you hang up on unexpected advertisement callers? I know I do, even when they're talking. I used to just say, "They're not home" but they just call back a later time. now I just hang up. And sometimes when I hang up, they call again, and I want to curse at them.

    I usually say we don't want it, whatever it is, then close the phone.

    Dependent on how pushy they are I often pretend to be really really interested in what they are selling. Once it gets down to the nitty gritty though I tell them I'm only joking and put the phone down, lol

    Usually with telemarketers there's about a 1 second delay before they're actually on the line. So if the person doesn't say something back to me after I say Hello within about a second I just hang up the phone. If they do get through I just say I'm not interested and hang up. They're people too and they're just doing a job so I at least try to be civil with them. I'd hate to be in their shoes...

    I used to work as a Double Glazing person (for just under 2 weeks) was a very funny job though. Me and my friend used to see who could make the funniest call, ie trying to fit certain words in for a dare.
